New Zealanders are to be made to renew their passports every five years, at a cost of $71, instead of every decade.
Any visas or entitlements to reside in other countries such as Britain or America, which normally expire with a passport, will also have to be re-applied for every five years.
Becoming a New Zealand citizen is also to get tougher under plans to crack down on passport fraud and on children born here to foreign parents. "
